Letter to the Editor—The Widespread Adoption of an Operational Policy and its Effect on the World as a Whole

Abstract

I would like to take this opportunity to point out a potentially deplorable situation that arises because of the indiscriminate and wholesale adoption of an operational scheme, namely, the present policy of most of the world's automobile traffic (that in the U.S.) to drive on the right side of the road. It does not require elaborate statistical considerations to indicate that an average slowing down of the earth results from this practice.
